My site is not opening when I entered my site url, instead its downloading

Question

When I enter my site URL on a browser my site is not opening, instead it's downloading my page. What is the issue?

Answer 1

Your question is lacking a lot of details. It appears that your webserver is serving your php files as downloadable files instead of executing them. Depending on the webserver you are using, I suggest you take a look at these previously asked questions:

• Apache: What causes PHP pages to consistently download instead of running normally
• NGINX: Nginx serves .php files as downloads, instead of executing them
